The Love I Seek Is Real And Raw — A Poem
The love I seek is not pretty or perfect
It has no fairytale beginning or end
There is no Happily Ever After
And there are no birds singing love songs
The love I seek is not based on beauty or riches
It does not seek to impress or boast
It does not care about how it looks to others
It does not listen to judgments or guidelines
The love I seek is real and raw
It is a love mostly unheard of
In a world obsessed with fantasy and delusion
A world that cares more about how things look than they feel
The love I seek is deep and unknown
It requires bravery and strength
To take a leap of faith
To immerse yourself in something that feels right but doesn’t make sense
The love I seek is intense and free
It breathes
It lives
It grows
The love I seek heals
It listens
It understands
It soothes
The love I seek is not clear cut
It’s messy
It’s moving
It’s vibrant
The love I seek is not something people believe in
Maybe it is not something they even want
Maybe it is just the love I seek
A love that runs deep
A love that feels alive
A love that’s real and raw
